I Wonder
West Kanye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
These dreams be waking me up at night (night, night)
(And I wonder) you say I think I'm never wrong (wrong, wrong)
(And I wonder) you know what, maybe you're right, aight?
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
(And I wonder) you say he get on your fucking nerves (nerves, nerves)
(And I wonder) you hope that he get what he deserves ('serves, 'serves) word
(And I wonder) do you even remember what the issue is?
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is (and I wonder)
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
(And I wonder) and I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm (and I wonder)
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hotlines
Why he keep giving me hot lines?
I'm a star, how could I not shine? (And I wonder)
How many ladies in the house (if you know)
How many ladies in the house without a spouse (what it means)
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused (what it means)
What you about? (And I wonder)
On that independent shit (if you know)
Trade it all for a husband and some kids (what it means)
You ever wonder what it all really mean? (To find your dreams come true)
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams
In "I Wonder," Kanye West is reflecting on the pursuit of one's dreams and the meaning behind it. The chorus and repeated phrase "and I wonder if you know what it means to find your dreams" is a reminder to himself and others that having a dream is not enough; one must understand what it means to achieve it. He questions whether people fully comprehend the significance of their ambitions and the effort required to make them a reality.
West also touches on the internal struggle that exists when chasing one's dreams, admitting that they keep him up at night. He acknowledges that he may not always be right, but recognizes that his intuition is driving him towards his aspirations. In the second verse, he explores the complexity of relationships and how distractions and conflicts can detract from personal growth. He questions whether people truly understand what their issues are and admits that he himself is guilty of getting lost in the "smokescreens" and "chokes and screams" of relationships.

I lost my brother a few years ago. He introduced me to Kanye. I remember watching him purchase this album at a store. We would sit down and talk about how Kanye is an amazing artist with the mind of a unique individual. To this day this album will always be my favorite album of all time! This was was my big brothers favorite. Still have that CD in a safe.
